The head of Ohio’s National Guard is drawing criticism after video showed him pushing a reporter at a press conference.
Newly released body camera footage shows part of the altercation, with Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr. arguing with NewsNation correspondent Evan Lambert inside a gymnasium where Ohio Governor Mike DeWine was giving a press conference. The footage, released Thursday, appears to contradict Harris’ initial claim that he acted in self-defense.

When asked about Russia’s resilience, Wallander called it “the Pentagon’s number two strategic challenge after China”. “We have not forgotten that although Russia is facing strategic defeat in Ukraine , it is still a capable adversary,” Wallander said.
Wallander said the US and its NATO allies in the conference scheduled to take place in Vilnius, Lithuania, are expected to finalize plans for a new force model and arrange some units according to geographical factors.

Sergei Shoigu is arguably the most legendary defense minister in Russian history.
Shoigu never served as a soldier for a day but was awarded the rank of general and promoted the biggest military reform since the founding of Russia.
He, President Putin, and Foreign Minister Lavrov are called the “troika” of Russian politics and are considered the most likely successor to Putin.
Among them, the “new look” military reform promoted by Shoigu is also the most important event in the Russian military in the past 30 years.

It is beginning to make sense why the Ukrainian army is rapidly preparing two airmobile brigades – the 25th and the 80th – for the arrival of the British-made Challenger 2 tanks.
These brigades have been operating in the forests around Kreminna, 16 kilometers north of Lysychansk, in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. It is the same sector where the Russian army has concentrated its best T-90 tanks and BMP-T combat vehicles.
Kyiv planners may have specifically intended for the Challenger 2s to take on the T-90s and BMP-Ts immediately.
There aren’t many tanks vs.

VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, California — An unarmed ICBM has been launched from California to test the defense system, the US Air Force Global Strike Command reported.
According to a statement released by the United States Air Force, the Minuteman III missile took off from the Vandenberg Space Base in California at 11:01 p.m. on Thursday. Its reentry vehicle travelled approximately 4,200 miles over the Pacific Ocean to the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for Iraq to find spare parts for its Mi-17s. Therefore this country wants to replace these helicopters with the products of an American company, The War Zone reports. 
The shortage of spare parts for the Mi-17 is directly related to the war in Ukraine – the Russian Federation is forced to leave more components to support its own aviation and has fewer and fewer “free” spare parts for sale.

The White House said it has not communicated with the Chinese military since the US military dispatched F-22 fighter jets to shoot down missiles over Alaska.
According to “Newsweek” (Newsweek) report on the 10th, White House National Security Council (NSC) Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby (John Kirby) confirmed on Friday that under the order of US President Biden, the drone was shot down at 40,000 feet (12192 km) in Alaska airspace.

Before Biden ordered the shooting down, the US military pilots judged that there was no one on it.

A U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor has shot down an object over Canada’s Yukon Territory, per a Tweet from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The shootdown is the second such incident in two days and the F-22’s third ‘kill’ ever, after the shooting down of a Chinese high-altitude balloon a week ago. Trudeau tweeted he spoke with President Joe Biden on Saturday afternoon about the incident, and that Canadian forces will recover the object’s wreckage.

One day after the U.S. Air Force shot down a “high-altitude object” over Alaska, an American F-22 took out a similar object in the skies above Canada.
“I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace.
@NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a tweet.
